ProWrestling.Net reports that Jeff Hardy doesnât appear to be in the doghouse following his recent incident at the Nashville International Airport. Hardy was not allowed to take a flight home because he was deemed too intoxicated by someone at the airport. There were some sighs of relief in WWE who feared he did something more serious.
Hardy spent that night hanging out with Matt Hardy and Gregory Helms, enjoying the Nashville nightlife with a number of other wrestlers that evening.
There have been multiple cases within the wrestling industry where performers were asked to take later flights because they were deemed too intoxicated. Obviously, the difference is that these people donât already have two strikes against them in the Wellness Policy, and their airport incidents didnât come to the public view. Hardyâs incident didnât help his standing with management, but his stock didnât drop dramatically because of it.
For what itâs worth, friends say they havenât noticed any signs of Jeff slipping back into his old habits, but admit that there were also no red flags when he failed a Wellness test earlier this year.
